* Longer top panel - to ensure that the stuffing does not cover the top buttons + plus easier to lift
* Slimmer design - seriously, there was no point - now that I think about it - in giving space to put the cover in.... maybe
* 4 beams instead of 2
* 2 beams will support the back
* Need more support for right hand
* HINGE OUTSIDE - should give wider range of rotation
* Need to fix Start+Select+Home arrangement/location
* HitBox rather than Joystick? ..... nah
* Bolts and washers on the side - to better attach the pillow's fabric, so that it ain't a gaping hole, in which the stuffing can fall through
* Need to devise new way to attach the flap to cover
* NO GAPING HOLE ON THE BOTTOM - I have to remove stuffing which gets trapped inside every. freaking. TIME!
* Rather than proper holes, it may possibly be better to make a + slit in the cover for the buttons

It was a pain to lug around. But it certainly got me noticed, me slinging it across my back or shoulders as I circled the room. (In truth I had put my 3ds in there, and was using the extended reach/height to get more Street Pass... pedestrians?)

dumb people always have shit opinions about eva, its like some kind of more reliable iq test

[20:47:33] I3uster: in 2015 a crack memer was sent to skype prison by a court of his Peers for a crime he didnt commit. he promptly escaped from his Maximum security Forum into the twitter Underground.

I had originally used a drill and knife to cut out the holes - but then I realized that Plastic melts. Midway through, I switched to a soldering iron that I would've disposed of otherwise. Prior to that, a hole would've taken about 5 - 10 minutes to cut to spec; with an iron, it took about 1. If I were to do this again, I would pick up a Heated Knife (apparently from X-acto?)

Tried not to cut deeply into the sternum, so the buttons ended up funky. If there was something to change, I would definitely, absolutely, without a doubt put the 'Up' button in its former position. It's the blue button. You'll see. The damned thing kept popping out of its makeshift holder, and it would often not fully compress (and not send the signal).

Also, I tore his arm off by accident. Note to self - try not to do that again.

Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.

It does seem a tad unwieldy, but that does seem to be your general MO, going by all the others. Personally I'd just do one out of the skull, but thats just me not wanting to carry around a skelton all the time.

Nice. Although if you're going to make the eyes into buttons, I'd suggest either doing both for symmetry, or attach a chain to the one glowing button to make it look like a monocle. And then it becomes classy Santa. Or eddyak Santa if you add a moustache too...

Joking aside that's pretty awesome, you should start making custom arcade stick mods as commisions or something(Actually now that I think about it, those are probably a thing already).

I thought about doing both eyes - until I found out it was ceramic. I managed to bash in his right eye fairly well, but couldn't guarantee not shattering his head with a second blow. (There were all these cracks on the inside.)

The Platinum
----------------------------------------------------------

Rather than continuing on to my next stick, I thought to take a breather - by making another casual/orthodox (to an extant) arcade stick.

It's... well, meh? I don't like this one too much, so I'm gonna fiddle with the design and remake it. Using 3/4" MDF for the base and 1/4" MDF for the top, here's the prototype for "The Platinum"

Spoiler:

(Ignore the... extra stuff I have lying around.)

Initial Design - ver 0.00.00

The theme behind this stick was: Reversible. I like to play in a vertical fashion (as noted by the jolly man above), but there have been times when a friend needs to borrow a stick - but they don't want to play on mine. Thus, I designed a way for my stick to switch between the "Traditional Layout" (or common layout) and my "Obviously Better Layout That Emphasizes Stick Handling".

Other than that, is anyone here remotely familiar with gyroscopes and Arduino?
